For their latest Song Machine episode, The Gorillaz have tapped the legendary Elton John and 6LACK to record “The Pink Phantom,” marking one of their strongest collaborations in recent times. The episode’s premiere also comes with the announcement that Song Machine: Season One – Strange Timez will release October 23.

Read what Elton John had to say about the collaboration.

“Damon reached out and asked me to do something and the way the song has turned out is just great. I was in the studio in London and he was at the other end in Devon, but even remotely it was such an engaging and creative process. I’ve always loved Damon because he encompasses so many different sorts of music. He has his fingers in so many pies and although he’s achieved so much, he never sits still creatively. He’s constantly pushing forward and embracing the new, which is admirable and rare. He’s always working — he’s always doing something. He’s done so much to promote music from around the world, from Africa, from China, that people hadn’t previously heard and I really admire that. I’ve always been a Gorillaz fan anyway, so when he asked me to do a Gorillaz track—it was a no brainer. I’m so very, very happy that that’s come about.”
